Ok, so its not me being a girl, but was just wondering if anyone else suffered with an electric shock every time they get out there Leon. Its driving me mad, but its also funny letting ppl get out first then go to close the door...was just wondering if anyone else suffered with this??????

fleeces, trousers and jumpers can do it, our work fleeces are **** for it, and we are in constant contact with servers and pc's!

My Polo doest it too people to, its you rubbing against the seat fabric and it charges you apparently. Always let the passengers get out first, or just dont touch the metal and you'll not get shocked ;) however feel free to drive around naked in high heels if thats what your into:whistle:

my missus always gets a shock from my LCR everytime she gets out of it, now she really winds me up because she shuts the door by the windows! with her greasy fingers , just after i have spent 2hrs cleaning the damn thing! (not happy)

Its the friction between your hair and your clothes and the seats that charges you up :p

Like when you rub your hair against a balloon and it sticks up
